Additions

  • BUMPED MINIMUM AP VERSION TO 0.6.5. WE'RE USING SnesReader!!!!
  • Starting location shuffle
    • No longer restricted to Yoshi's Island as a starting area
  • Players can now warp to the starting location (the tile, not the actual level) from anywhere by pressing L+R while standing on a level tile in the map
  • Carryless Secret Exits
    • Keyholes are replaced with Goal Orbs at random
  • Adjusted level map tiles depending on which level the location has
    • Also listens to the level exit shuffle setting and will inform the player via a different level tile on the map
  • Added a basic Manager/Adjuster which can edit a few things on an already generated seed
    • Enable, disable or change the Enemy Shuffle seed

      • Global packs will always be loaded, similar to LTTP's adjuster
    • Export a template Graphics Pack from a Waffles ROM
    • Create a new Graphics Pack from a folder
    • More to come at a later date
  • Initial Deferred Entrances™ support for Universal Tracker
    • It basically doesn't spoil the entire location list at once and tells players which levels they've not visited at all
    • Toggleable from Universal Tracker's settings in host.yaml
  • New Glitched™ logic for some locations has been implemented for Universal Tracker

Adjustments

Fixes

  • Universal Tracker now properly tracks Glitched™ logic for swapped level exits (for real)
  • Some logic adjustments
  • Small Enemy Shuffle backend adjustments

v1.1.0

Additions

  • Visiting rooms can grant a check
    • Boss Rooms not included
    • Some rooms are in logic even if you don't have items required to beat the level. Example: Donut Secret 1 is a water level but you can collect a check from visiting the main portion of the level without access to Swim.
  • Added an item (Trap Repellent) which blocks incoming traps in a level
    • Used from the Inventory System. Effects are gone when going back to the map.
    • Can be obtained via any way 1-Ups were awarded (1/4 chance) or purchased for 100 Red Coins with EnergyLink enabled
    • This can effectively disable the permanent traps from the level_effects option... For a single playthrough of a level at least.
  • It's now possible to select which abilities or items will be added to the item pool or will be in the player's inventory at generation
    • This is sort-of why Start Inventory from Pool exists, but eh lol. Many people don't use that option and worked fine in DKC1/2
    • Those abilities only include the amount of items that are "enough" to be able to use them meaning that additional upgrades to existing abilities will be in the item pool regardless of this setting which includes:
      • Wall Running from anywhere (Progressive Run x2)
      • Additional Star duration (Progressive Super Star x9)
      • Faster swimming (Progressive Swim x2)

Adjustments

  • Midway Points are now colored according to the item's classification they have
  • Renamed bonus_blocks_checks to star_block_checks
  • Removed exclude_special_zone to exclude_special_zone
  • Blocks are now properly collected
    • The code worked, I just didn't properly test it and disabled it
  • Altered Universal Tracker's behavior for Glitched™ logic, it always assumes Hard logic instead of the very next logic level
  • Several Enemy Shuffle adjustments to placements feel more fair
  • Updated the Results Screen font
  • Disabled save prompts
    • We have silent autosaves, no need for an extra prompt

Fixes

  • Universal Tracker now properly tracks Glitched™ logic for swapped level exits
  • Fixed Goals not being properly colored when level exits are swapped
  • Fixed some backend issues with sprite loading which would lead to garbage being uploaded to VRAM every time an effect spawned on screen
    • In non-nerd speak: Fixed fireballs in boss arenas (and possibly other places)
  • Fixed Star Blocks not being properly colored when they're valid locations and haven't been collected
  • Some logic adjustments

    • This means that Yoshi's Tongue is decoupled from Carry
